Let This Year Be Your Year

You have made new decisions in your life,

This year you want to learn about nutrition,

You want to get rid of your extra pounds this year or you don’t want to be thin anymore,

You want to be healthier and fitter by reaching your ideal load!

Making these pleasant decisions was our plane ticket.

Now, we invite you to a pleasant journey where you will have fun and lighten up.

1. DECIDE FIRST. As a matter of fact, do we want to make a fundamental change in the field of nutrition in our lives? Or do we want to complain, by adding a new one to the lists we have, that I cannot lose weight, my body is not working? Do we want to start this Monday and if I eat this day on the first Tuesday, nothing will happen? Or do we want to lose weight with pleasure by tasting everything we want and make it our way of life?

2. SELECT EXPERT GROUP. Choose the individuals who will accompany you on this trip. If you choose these companions from those who do not have enough knowledge and experience in this bet, which promises you rapid but unhealthy weight loss, instead of a professional health group, you may harm your health. In this nutrition program, you should get information about your general health status and blood findings from your doctor, create your nutrition program with your dietitian, and if necessary, you should feel that you are in safe hands by getting support from other health professionals such as physiotherapists and psychologists.

3. KNOW YOURSELF. Your dietitian needs to get to know you in order to be able to help you more. Of course, for this, you must first know yourself. What time of the day do you enjoy eating? In which foods do you feel guilty, in which foods do you feel lighter? Do you attribute emotional meanings to foods, for example, is chocolate your friend? ‘Even if I’m hungry, I can’t lose weight!’ Are you dragging yourself into a dead end with negative propositions? Or are you waiting for those days when you have tied your hands, believing that one day medicine will go far and find a pill or a miracle that will eliminate weight-related problems?

4. KNOW YOUR METABOLISM FACE. Until the last years, we always had excuses. We used to find fault with the scales, I think it was broken so it always showed us too much, or the eyes that saw us never thought about our muscles and bony structure, but they always mentioned our fat. Fortunately, body analysis devices came out and we started to have information about our muscles, fat, bones and edema. Then the tape measure would always make our waist thick, or the measuring hands would never measure from the thinnest area. Subsequently, they developed a new work in this regard, and people or tape measure no longer make mistakes, we reach objective results with the measuring device. On the other hand, we used to do sports, we always did sports, but whether our body was burning fat or whatever, there was a problem, we could not lose weight, but with a band worn on our arm, we learned how intense and how long we did sports. Then our metabolism wouldn’t work. But of course, that problem is now solved. In the devices that make our metabolism measurements, whether our metabolism is working or not, it responds specifically to the individual. So we don’t have much of an excuse, lately. By taking these measurements, you and your dietitian can get to know your body better and you can reach an active result in a shorter time.

5. MAKE THE DIET FUN BY DEVELOPING NEW SCHEDULES. The main reason why many people start and stop dieting is that they eat the same foods every day on a menu that is not prepared compared to them. It turns out that the nutrition program should be a program that covers your personal habits but gives you good habits instead of your bad habits. The lifetime must have a competency that can be applied. Otherwise, it will be boring to lose weight and it will not be possible to maintain that weight. Together with your dietitian, you can develop new recipes that will speed up your metabolism with your favorite foods. You can learn the delicious combinations of foods. With less oil and less salt, you may realize that you actually get the real taste of the food. By making changes in the service of your meals, you can give them a new style and thus appeal to the eyes of your loved ones with healthy and delicious meals. So you can eat any food you want, but you must either be modest about the size or plan how we can make the food healthier.

Let this year be your year, fit, happy, hopeful days…
